LONDON JOURNALS. [nom THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.] [Morning Post.] The preparations for the interment of the Re- mains of her MAJESTY are now in a forward state, bot it is not yet determined whether the monntful ceremony will take place the latter end of the regent or the beginning of next week. The Fureral will be as private as possible, con isrently wih the high and exalted rank of the Illustrious Personage, and much of the solemn pomp observed on former similar occasions will Vbe dispensed with in the. present instance. The i' body will lie in state in Kew Palace Ow inc to the smallness of the building, the public • will he aditi.ted only by tickets. To make ':. the neces,at y preparations, the Prince Regent commanded the attendance of the Surveyor-Gene ral at Kcw Palace on Friday evening, .when the large dining room or h.ll, as it was ca ll e d by the i g King, ard the small sitting room adjoining, were . deemed the best calculated fur the purpose ; and in consequence the whole of the tornit tire was re- I moved nut of those rooms to the new detached 4 building erected by command of the King before 1 he was attacked by his present malady. The in r.. will be by torchlight. : .#'. The Dtike of Ymk called yesterday morning, on h• is way from Datlands, at Cambridge [louse, Kew `,:, G• reen, on a visit of condolence with his afflicted 1.4 sisters, the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of G• loncester. His Royal Highness afterwards pro ceeded from Kew to London, sitived at Yolk .1 [-louse about two o'clock, and afterwards had a tt `, lou t : interview with the Prince Regent, at Carlton House. Visits of condolence, and inquiries after the state of hehh of vhe Royal survivors, continued to be made at Carlton House, York House, the Queeti's Palace, and Gloucester House,. by the fresh arrivals in town of the Nobility'and persons of distinction, who increase daily, particularly those attached to the Court. It was stated in some of the Papers of yester day, that the Royal'Dra , .ving Rooms are for the future to be held by the Duchess of York. We have authority to assure the Public, not only that no such arrangement has been formed, but that the subject has not yet, even in the slightest de gree, come under consideration. As a. proof of site uncommon fortitude of the' Royal Sufferer, we need only mention what was related by the Prince Regent yesterday. In con versation with 'a Gentleman, his Royal Highness said, " During the whole period of her Majesty's indisposition, she never suffered a murmur tu es cape her." THE KING'S JEWELS.—The supposition that his ;Majesty has concealed those valuables arose from the recollection of a similar circumstance. Previously to his Majesty's lamented indisposi tion, a gold ewer and boson, enriched with gems and exquisite workmanship, were missing. The King was greatly disconcerted, and suspected it to have been stolen by a favourite domestic. Many months afterwards . these precious articles were discovered, concealed behind a quantity of books in the King's own study. His Majesty had totally forgotten (as he said himself to th.e Queen) having placed them there. [Morning Herald.] [PARTICULARS FROM KEW " Kew, Nlonday night. " Last night, his Royal Highness the Prince R eg e n t dined uith his illustrious sisters, the Prin cess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester, at Cambridge House. Sir Francis Mama!), and General Taylor, dined at the Royal table.— His Royal Highness afterwards remained with the Princesses, till nearly 12 o'clock, and he then returned to Carlton House. " This morning, about eleven o'clock, the Duke of York visited the Princesses, in his way from ()Atlantis to town. His Royal Highness remain ed at the Palace upwards of an hour and a half, and during his stay, he walked with the,Duchess of Gloucester, for a short timg, in the gat4ens of the house. " The Princess Augusta, we are sorry to say, still continues much indisposed. _ " To-night, the Prince Regent has omitted his usual visit to ch.:: Princesses, and they, in con sequence, dined alone in their private apartments. A messenger, however, arrived from Carlton- House, about six o'clock, with his Royal High ness's atlectiouate inquiries. " It is said, that the Prince is far froth enjoying his usual good health. Very numerous inquiries continue to be made at the Palace, after the health of the Princesses, but no visitors whatever are admitted at Cant bridge-House, except the metnbers of the Royal FAmily, and the Ladies of the Bedchamber to the late Queen. " It is now arranged, that the remains of her Majesty will lie in state privately at the Palace, but no time has yet been stated when this will commence. The Surveyor-General, Mr. Mash; of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, Messrs. Bunt ing, and Mr. Kidd, had an audience of the Prince Regent the night before last upon the subject, when his Royal Highness issued his commands, that the Great Hall of the Palace, with the small room adjoining, should be prepared for this so lemn purpose. In consequence, the organ has been taken out of the recess at the upper end of the hall, and its place will he appropriate(' to the - reception of the coffin. The organ, which was a favourite instrument of the King's, has been care fully taken to pieces, and removed, with the rest of the furniture, into some of the apartments of the new Palace. " From the smallness and inconvenience of the Palace, the hole of this mournful ceremony must necessarily be very contracted ; and the number of tickets (which will be issued from the Lord Chamberlain's Office). %via be limited in propor tion. Mr. Elliot, of Berner's-street, Oxford-street, is completing the state coffin." .- .t The yi7t\lneti.. , •. Our Private Correspondence frOm Paris disco vers some curiosity to ascertain the contents of the late dispatches from Sir Hudson Lowe, and hints at endeavours in certain circles to connect the fabrication of a plot for liberating Buonaparte with that /of one to seize the " greatest potentate in the world," on his road from Aix-la-Chapelle to Brussels, by a party of smugglers lying perdu in a wood ! This is a Conspiracy with a vengeance. Dispatches and General Orders from India have arrived, bearing additional testimony to the skill and splendid valour which were displayed in the latestortniug of the fortress of Chanda. GERMAN AND ILEUISU PAPERS. ---.. , F:v~..--- - Lowell RHINE, Nov. 2.—Persons who ought to be well informed assert, that in the Ministe rial Conferences at Aix-la-Chapelle, the restric tion of the freedom of the Press on the Continent became, at least incidentally, the subject of con . - sideration ; that Lord Castlereagh dropped s o m e words in favour of that restriction ; that the Duke of Richelieu - was, however, of opinion that it worth! he difficult to adopt any general rule, as time and place were chiefly.to he regarded in this `object of internal police; and, finally, that verbal resolutions were propounded for placing the Jour pals and political works under superintendence, and for rigorously punishing the offences of the Press, when they occur, by deterring examples. We hope that the good intention which may form the basis of such propositions as these will mislead uo one. It i 3 easy to perceive that some political writers have been wrong; but error and danger ought not to be confounded. The students who went to the Wartburg acted very foolishly ; but the farce they performed was attended with no other danger, except that of some persons rendering themselves very ridiculous by their alarm on the subject. We are, in like manner, equally unable to perceive, in all the improprie ties, follies, and blunders of certain political wri ters, any tendency to disturb the order of civilized society It, however, on the pretence of the dan ger of opposition, a timid anxiety is any where manifested for employing every force to suppress it, we must he allowed to wish that that anxiety may soon yield to better information. A man who was distinguished as tire decided enemy of revolt!- ' lions, the excellent Burke, expresses himself on the subject of opposition in a way which even at the present moment deserves the serious attention of all Statesmen.—[Here follows an extract from Burke, on the advantages of opposition.]—.4llge meine Zeitung. HANovEtt, Nov. 13.--Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Louisa of Hesse, sister to the Duchess, Arrived here yesterday from Strelitz. Ilis Royal 1-lighness the Doke of Clarence will give a splendid ball next Thursday, at which the Nobility, the Officers, down to the rank of Lieu tenant, and many persons in high civil offices, will be present. . Last night, with a strong east wind, we had a sharp fr►►st, the thermometer being six degrees and a half below freezing. The long want of rain has caused a scarcity of water in many parts. The earth is (h ied to a great depth, and eimplaints are made of the great increase of field mice. AIX-LA-CFIAPELLEt, NOV. 17.—1 t seems that the Concordat for Prussia is on the point of being concluded. The frequent conferences wkich have taken place within these few days at the Vicar-General's in this city, seem to have been relative to this important subject. It is generally affirmed that the ecclesiastical pensions will re ceive an addition. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 20.—Tbe Schah of Persia sends an Extraordinary Ambassador to Europe, who is already arrived at Constantinople. His name is Mirza Ahad Hassan Chan, and he is to proceed from this city to Vienna, Paris, and London. He is ordered not to stay above two months in each of these four capitals, and to re turn to Teheran. In his suite is the brother of Mr. %Vinod), the English Charge d'Affaires to the Schah. VIENNA, Nov. 9.—Soon after the return of his Majesty the Emperor, we expect the arrival of the Foreign Sovereigns. In honour of their pre sence, the garrison will be inct eased, and in the neighbouring, parks, &c. preparations made to give them the diversio❑ lot the chase. SECOND CHAMBER OF 'I LIE STATES GENERAL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.---The Sitting opened at halt-past eleven ; the Emperor of Russia, in a plain di ess, the Empress Dowager, and .the Prince and Princess of Orange, were present. The Order of the Day was the discussion of the Project of the Law relative to the organization of the infantry of the national militia. The Minister t)f the Interior was present in the Assembly, to defend the measure. The debates on this occasion were more than usually warm. The Minister of the Interior spoke several times, to answer the objections made by different speakers. • On being put to the -vote, the question was carried by a majority of 73 votes, to 23. The President announced, that the Minister of Finances would repair to the Assembly to-mor row, at one o'clock, to present, in the King's name, the Project of a Law. DELICATE INVESTIGATION.—We understand that an inquiry is now in progress at the Custom house, before the Chief Commissioners of Excise, of a nature both delicate and serious. A fraud to a considerable extent has been practised on the public, which has fortunately not escaped detec tion. The vigilance and activity of .11lr. Haw thorne have been exerted to hying to light thi3 mysterious business. We do not wish to say more at present, but. the affair is of that kind that will necessarily produce further tcsults.— ( Dublin Paper.) TO CORRESPONDENTS.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1818. %Ire received this morning the Paris Papers of' Saturday last. The minor Journals copy the ar ticle respecting the dispatches from St. Helena concerning BUONAPARTE, to .which we yesterday alluded. The object of putting forth this para graph is supposed to have been to give a decisive negative to the reports which had got into circu lation in France, of the escape or intended libera tion of BUONAPARTE. The following are extracts : " PARIS, Nov. 21.—The King transacted busi ness yesterday with the Count Corvetto, the Ali ir;ster of Finance, and afterwards %vent to St. Cloud. " The Duke of Orleans and family are prepar ing ►o fix their residence at Paris, The sons of his Serene Highness the Duke de Chartres, and the Duke de Nemours, are entirely recovered flow their indisposition. " It is said, that the Emperor of Russia has ex pressed a desire to obtain models of the different equipments of each arm of the Royal Guards and the. Line. " Of all the young men who have hitherto been brought before the Correctional Police, charged with wearing seditious colours at the different ballots at the Hotel de Ville, only one who wore a really tri-coloured cockade has been convicted. " The Court of Cassation yesterday heard the appeal of M. Ilotnain, who had been sentenced to a fine of 50 francs for a contravention of the Police Regulations, ordering Protestants to place tapestry in front of their houses on the day of the Fie Dieu. The Court, considering that the Po lice Regulations can only have for their object what relates to the safety of the citizens and the public tranquillity, reversed the sentence. " The case between the Sieur Barbier Daily and the Countesses de Saint Morys and Ciande chart, came on yesterday before the Chainhtr of Appeal of Correctional Police: The Countess de Saint Morys delivered a very long speech, &fier which the further hearing was 'postponed till the 26th inst. " The King of Naples quitted Rome the 6 , h instant to return to his States, accompanied by his august brother King Charles IV. of Spain. " Montmedy is to be delivered up to the French Commissioners on the 24th instant, and the next day there will no longer remain any Prussian troops in the Department of the Meuse. FIVE PER CENTS.

To-morrow his Royal Highness sets out for the Upper Rhine. " VALENCIENNP;S, Nov. 18.—To-morrow this place is to be surrendered to the National Guards of the town, and immediately afterwards the 52d English regiment, composing the garrison, will commence its march. " 'lai e Duke trAngoulerne is expected here on the 29th instant." The Morning Paper which took tip the report of the intended resignation of t e , litai) C H AN . CaLLOR and the Earl of LIVEICPOOI. has'now ex tended it into a Oneral rumour of Ministerial changes, anti asset's that our contradiction rests on no authority ; and it even "hazards the opinion that a change of measures or of men will take place." Why it should *certain such an opinion we cannot conceive, unless upon the ground of the Catholic Quest ion. Bnt in that case we pre sume, that if any change should take place, it will be more likely to arise ft om the retirement of th9se who support that Question, than of those cello are firm and decided friends to our present, and, we trust, unalterable Establishment. Upon no other, we may venture positively to assert, is there any likelihood of changes and resignat ions.
